We have been able to adapt and create artificial environments to sustain ourselves in areas which would normally kill us. When you think about what we are born into this world with and try to find all of the places that we would actually have a chance at survival you come up with very few.
Extrapolate that to the known universe and you have an even greater problem.
The evidence seems to support a world that was not particularly taylored for our benefit.

Uh...cause it's not just for us. Have you ever noticed all the wildlife and stuff? Yeah, we actually share the planet with other creatures!

Not so, your choice where you live it has to be somewhere some, explore geography. We/man have destroyed the earth and made it what it is today. Sin Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden we live in a fallen world. We have to do good with the resourses we have and if we kept the commandments maybe God would be more graceous to his children but we are in the last days and the prophets in the bible so far have been right about famine and mens hearts failing then because of what they see. Get some answers from a pastor, Elim Pentecostal Church - it works for me and God has transformed many lives and still does. God will protect you and provide what you need if you let him in and receive all the blessing he has for you - to prosper and not to harm you. Elim Church Member.

or how about the rest of the universe.
HUMILITY = BELIEVING THAT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED WITH YOU IN MIND
I wanted to respond to that 10% of our brain comment below. . That's actually a misconception. We use 100% of our brains. Just only portions at a time.
If you cut out 90% of the brain I think you might have a problem.
You can do a quick search online if you need references.

I think you need to look at it differently. Most things in life and by things I mean accomplishments in technology, science and agriculture. They were not just here or sitting in an instruction manual for us simply just to read and reap the benefit.
The earth was created for us. Yet with many things in life, in order for us to move forward to unlock the many many riches and mysteries of the world. We first need to have understanding. Without understanding we cannot truly harness, control and benefit from the many splendors here for us on earth.
If you think about electricity, it was never invented but it was harnessed. In order to harness electricity it took understanding. Once we understood it, it opened many many doors in every aspect of human evolution. Yet they were always there as well.
As far as space and the universe goes. We are trying to understand it. Until we have an understanding of something we cannot truly begin to benefit from it. Just think, the world use to be considered flat for hundreds of years before someone sailed around it. So man at that time believed they were at the peak of science, technology and knowledge of their surrounding. Obviously they were not!
As far as what is uninhabitable that kind of depends on perspective. Did you know that people live in the middle of oceans, sometimes dozens of miles from land? Now I'm not talking about the lost city of Atlantis but I'm talking about oil rigs. Than in remote Rain Forrest's where many machines and technology can't travel, there are scores of people thriving. Yet many will not call it civilization nor will they call it inhabitable.
Also, the world has under gone make overs over the millions of years according to science and history. What are now rivers use to be valleys. What are now valleys use to be rivers. Think of the grand canyon. It use to be a grand river or at least part of one. Now it is a one of the first national parks in America. Is it inhabitable... sure, was it always, definitely not.
So as time moves forward so will mans ability to understand the things that are here for us. As that happens we will find ourselves spreading out upon the earth even more and perhaps beyond earth, if that is something you look forward to in the future.
Was the world tailored for our benefit us, no. I think we have been tailored to benefit from it!
Ponder this a bit......
Enjoy!

Ha, but when you think about how hostile the rest of the world (and universe especially) really is, doesn't it make it incredible that anywhere can support human life? Or any life for that matter?

interesting thinking
though i'm sure that in the past the magnetic field was thicker, taller than today, stronger and the people who lived then were taller, stronger, healthier because they were more protected from the free radicals and from the light
and they could communicate better with other individuals like them with a strong magnetic fiels=aura
and they were not primitive as we like to think just because science has not came with a proof yet, it's unbelieveble to consider we are the cream of evolution in the past 8 thousdand years and in the millions of years before was nothing

Isaiah 45: 11, 12, 18, 19
"Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded."
"For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else."

>>>"When you think about what we are born into this world with..."
people often forget the human mind's/the animal mind's capacity for adaptation, and we're born with minds of vast capacity, praise God - in that sense, everywhere we (humans) are on earth, on the moon, in the vacuum of space, in the depths and vast pressures of the ocean, in hundreds of degrees in temp in heat retardation suits, in freezing cold ... we have made 'habitable' to a degree thanks to our ingenuity
but likewise and unfortunately - our human mind realizes for us great egos which impel us toward the exploitative - raping our God given natural resources out of a power-hungry lust
sin makes us wasteful - we need to keep in check that we use our only resources as best we can given our werewithall and not waste them on cheap greed and gluttony.

how do you define tailored, what kinda world do you want to live in? do you want everything to be perfect or something thats not the idea, this isnt heaven, its all about choice, if god made it clear he made things that would undermine the choice of faith, how do you know it will be inhabitable in the future, these things god left for us to do
